Affirmative Right chief editor Colin Liddell wishes listeners a happy "St. Andrews Day" and explains why the Scots picked a Jew, who never came to Scotland or even knew Scotland existed, to be their patron saint.

Also, discussed and compared is Saint George, the Greek who somehow became the patron saint of England.

For a country to survive, it needs not just well-policed borders but also a positive identity and a strong nationalist faith. Instead, most opposition to illegal immigration in American today is merely based on peripheral factors, such as whether illegals are likely to be gang members or not, place a burden on public services, etc. The migrant caravan is a cynical plot to target this ideological weakness by bombarding Americans with imagery designed to appeal to their "feelz." But, as RamZPaul shows in this video, many of the images are contrived and faked for maximum effect.

I write with the consciousness of a man who strongly
suspects he has acquired a demon.

While not feeling himself to be overtly possessed by said
demon, your faithful interlocutor nevertheless struggles to comprehend his
current psychic state in absence of rhetorical recourse to citation of the doings
of the denizens of the infernal realm.

I am not possessed, I don’t think. Nothing unknown has
invaded my body or breached the borders of my consciousness. Still, my mind is
demon-haunted, and my heart is devil-bedeviled. An infernal element has entered
my interior line of vision, and I can’t seem to avoid glimpsing him; he is
always in front of me, though often merely in my peripherals. At times I can
forget that he is even there, but then, with a wash of dread, I remember him
again.

Due to the obsessive grip that antisemitism exerts on weak and immature minds, most of the lies that exist in the Alt-Right seem to focus on matters relating to the Jews.

This is pretty odd, especially if you consider the fact that nothing reinforces disappearing Jewish identity better than the kind of ineffectual antisemitism that the present-day Alt-Right specialises in.

With the welcome departure of war mongering UN Ambassador Nikki Haley, the Trump Administration’s neocon tag team of death and destruction – Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo and National Security Advisor (NSA), John Bolton – have enthusiastically taken up where the repellent Haley has left off. It is highly doubtful that the former Ambassador will meekly stay under the rock beneath which she crawled. It seems possible that she will reappear as a primary challenger to her former boss in 2020, and, most certainly, as a Presidential contender in 2024.

Since the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting of October 27th, the Anti Defamation League of the B’nai Brith (ADL) has been welcomed in all the major media outlets as a respectable representative of not only the Jewish community, but also of “a world without hate,” a phrase cleverly trademarked by the powerful organization. Somebody with no prior knowledge of the ADL or its director Jonathan Greenblatt could easily believe that they represent and teach tolerance. This has little to do with reality as Kaiter Enless's book Defamation Factory makes clear.

Driving around today, it became clear that most people were heavily distracted. They stopped in the middle of the road, randomly, and paused there for a long time. If you honked, they looked at you, bewildering: weren’t you experiencing the same confusion they were? Or fundamentally: is the world not just an extension of myself?

Thanks to the turbulence being caused by the Brexit negotiations, UK politics are particularly unstable at the moment.

This could easily lead to the collapse of Prime Minister Theresa May's shambolic government, and we might even see a general election being announced within weeks or even days. After that, who knows what will happen.

Robert Stark and Matthew Pegas talk to Affirmative Right contributor Richard Wolstencroft about the 19th Melbourne Underground Film Festival, of which he is the director.

Among the topics are Robert and Matthew's own documentary Supply, which won the "Best Guerrilla" Film Award, Lauren Southern’s Farmlands, which took the "Best Film" award, and past MUFF alumni like James Wan of Saw fame. Also under discussion are the populist movements in Europe, the persecution of White South African farmers, the recent Melbourne terror attack, new Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, and the Midterm elections in America.

The following is an excerpt from Andy Nowicki's upcoming publication, tentatively titled Demon in the Rough

Film is like music in its ability to transfix and captivate
its audience. Both the visual and the aural are mediums through which a
hypnotic effect can take hold, causing the participant in the medium to “lose
himself” temporarily and engage entirely with that which what spills into his
ears and assails his eyes.

It's obvious that failed Alt-Right leader Richard Spencer's parents didn't pay much attention to him as a child. Ever since, he's been on a one-man mission to compensate for that by attracting as much attention to himself as possible, either through his amateur dramatics or edgytarian "hot takes" on the issues of the day. Spencer generates a lot of heat but very little light. Steven Sailer, by contrast, is the exact opposite, a self-effacing, data-driven intellect, who makes real change, without attracting pointless drama. YouTuber Luke Ford compares the two.

This piece was originally posted on the 100th anniverary of Princip's assassination of Archduke Francis Ferdiand, an event which is widely agreed to have touched off World War I. It is reposted today, on the 100 year anniversary of Armistice Day, which signaled the end of that horrific, tragic, and seemingly pointless conflict.

"I’m on a mission, cuz now I’ve had itI watch their system, then spit right at it!I was born and plated, a schmuck they createdI’ll explode, I’ll erode! Yeah, I’ll break your fuckin’ codeCuz I’m an automatic schmuck… with a tendency to rock!"～The Hives

An assassin commits murder, but not just any murder. He kills not for the thrill—though killing may indeed be thrilling for him—but because it is something he must do, either because it is his paid profession, or simply because he views such a task as his grisly responsibility.

In 1998, due to death threats and other pressures, holocaust revisionist David Cole faked his own death and began a new life as David Stein, a Hollywood insider and Republican Party activist. In 2014, however, his true identity was revealed, leading to Cole being shunned by his Republican friends and losing work. Now, thanks to the election of Trump, the mood has changed so much in the GOP that Cole has been "rehabilitated" by important figures on the mainstream right like Ann Coulter.

NOTE: I wrote this take-down of John Lennon and the battle over his dubious legacy for Tokyo Journal in 2000, on the twentieth anniversary of his death, after a visit to the John Lennon Museum in Japan. It is one of the 22 pieces included in my first book Interviews and Obituaries, available on Amazon.

20 years after he was gunned down outside a New York apartment block, John Lennon is still with us. Here in Japan, he's with us even more, following the recent opening of a museum dedicated to him in Saitama.

Echoing the powerful points made in the Trad News articles "Black Voters Punish Trump for Finding Them Jobs" and "Jewish Voters Punish Trump for Moving the Embassy to Jerusalem," Boomer-slash-Gen-X Nationalist RamZPaul points out the mistaken beliefs of those in the Trump camp who thought that Blacks and Jews would reward Trump and the GOP by changing their tribal voting patterns. He also blackpills on the demographic changes that are now sweeping the nation, which will make it increasingly difficult to elect conservative, White-friendly governments in the future.

CNN, FOX News, NBC and Facebook have all concluded that Trump's paid political advertisement about illegal immigration is too offensive to air (Facebook blocked the ad from being distributed on their network).

What doesn't kill Gab only makes it stronger. Styxhexenhammer666 comments on the welcome return of Gab, the social media platform that was shut down in the wake of the Pittsburgh synagogue massacre. Twitter without the censorship! So, why do we need Twitter? Get on Gab!

The problem that arises when you're the greatest nation in the history of the world, is that there's no real problems to deal with. There's no war. Anybody who wants a job can get one. Nobody starves to death. Everybody has access to medical care. Even beggars can make six figures a year.

Affirmative Right Chief Editor Colin Liddell discusses the US midterms, before turning his attention to UK Chancellor Philip Hammond's latest Budget. Hyped as the "End of Austerity" Budget, Liddell argues that the package of tax cuts and increased government spending is economically moronic but politically astute, and is influenced by the tragic fate of John Major's government in the 1990s which unwittingly fattened the calf for its Labour opponents.

Brazilliant! As widely expected, the hard-right, populist candidate Jair Bolsonaro has won the 2nd and final round of the Brazilian Presidential Election, taking 55% of the vote against the 45% for Fernando Haddad from the left-wing Workers Party. Notice the conspicuous lack of centrist candidates in the final round? This was a hard-right guy against a hard-left guy and luckily the right guy won.
